The
Moorestown Nippers
A Virtual
Art Exhibit Featuring the 2005 Moorestown Nippers
This gallery features works
of art created for the Nipper 2005 public art project in Moorestown,
New Jersey.
This Nipper festival featured
30 five foot high fiberglass Nipper statues, decorated by artists
supported by various sponsors (see below).
Five Moorestown partners:
The Evergreens, Historical Society of Moorestown, Lutheran Home at
Moorestown, Moorestown Community House and Perkins Center for the
Arts were responsible for bringing Nipper 2005 to Moorestown.
All "Nippers"were
sold at auction in October 2005 as a local fund-raiser.
According to the Nipper
2005 website, Eldridge Johnson, the founder of the Victor Talking
Machine Company and acquirer of the "Nipper" trademark,
moved his family in 1919 "to a small estate on East Main Street
in Moorestown...Mr. Johnson lived in the house until his death in
November 1945."
Thus, the connection between
Moorestown and Nipper.
